    BEEP BEEP BEEP the alarm clocks sounds annoyingly ran through the room and seemed to disturb the sleeping lump on the bed. Slowly a figure recognizable as a boy appeared, as the boy sat up, a young boy around the age of 14 with icy blue eyes and black hair. SMACK a hand clamped down on the alarm clock putting a halt to it's schreecing  instantly. "MAXWELL ACHILLES MORTEM" came the sound of a person who we can only assume to be the boy's mother. The boy who we now know as Maxwell or 'Max' tensed and before he could do more the yelling returns and sounded of what I could only describe as a force to be reckoned with. "GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE, YOU ARE GOING TO BE LATE FOR SCHOOL" faster than what seemed possible for a newely awoken teenager at the age of 14, he jumped out of his bed got dressesd in cloud grey and an almost neon teal school uniform. As je ran out of the room and down the stairs into the kitchen  pretty woman with chocolate brown hair and eyes that seemed to shine like rubies and warmth came into view.

    "Morning mom," said max "do you need me to grab you anything on my way home from Jacksons tonight?"

    "No darling I should be fine but..." his mother took a breath as if thinking about what to say very carefully. "Just be careful... there was just a break-in at that government lab near where he lives"    
"mom" max said almost hesitantly and slowly as he moved over to his mother. "ill be fine were just studying... but if it bakes you feel better il be careful"   
"I know Max it's just that Jackson is not the most ... um well-adjusted child"    "mom" max said almost teasingly. "ill be fine"   
"goodbye max," said his mother as she handed him a piece of toast. when max looked at her blankly and obviously not knowing why she had made him food (as it was usually his job to cook). Seeing his questioning look she knew that she would have to remind him and sighed "school. You're going to be late for school max"   Max's head snapped around and looked at the clock, and his eyes widened it was 7:50 he had 10 minutes to get halfway across the city.
max's family wasn't very well off, his mother was a single mother who couldn't find a permanent job so they lived in the rougher area of town. he was lucky though, much luckier than the other kids who lived there.
He got to go to school and not just any school, no. he had managed to get a scholarship to the most prestigious school in the city of Trinox, the royal academy. In order to even attempt to get in he studied and studied, and even though he was already enrolled if his grades dropped below a 75% he would lose his scholarship. So he studied, and he studied hard to keep his spot in that school. he had to know everything from complex math equations (he still remembers when the exam on math to get in started the robot examiner stated "its just rocket science.)"  
  As he arrived a the school that had made a name for itself because of innovation through technology, said school looked up to and renowned for its technological advancmet and it's graduates. Ninety eight percent of the students who graduated from the academy got jobs high up in the goverment. The city was itself was known for being one of the most high tech city's left in the world, just after Reoale however there had not been contact between the two city for months so there was no knowing if the city was still there. The city used a force field of the most innovative technology to protect the city from other city's ruthless attacks or the lost, and routes.
However the lost we're the things on everyone minds. The closest thing they cold be described as is a zombie except there fast and far from stupid. The radioactivity that caused the first person to become a lost was from a missile launched in the third work war. It has been a hundred years since then and no instead of just having to worry about lost they had to worry about the routes to.
The rouges we're people who had forsaken the protection of the city and chosen to live in the uninhabitable land outside of citys, or they had been exiled for crimes they committed. The routes attacks city's about once a year unlike the lost who were constantly on the outside of the barrier unable to get in.

mainly because the world was on the brink of world war 4(WW4). the last world war world war3(ww3) had made a majority of the world uninhabitable.    As he walked up to the steps to the entrance the crowd parted to let him through. because they didn't want commoner filth on them or the fact that they could gossip about him and no-one would really care. all the teachers but one hated him and tried to make his life a living hell and the students picked on him and nothing was done. but he didn't care he ignored them, he was going to have to work hard, harder than any of these snotty rich kids if he wanted to live his life not wondering if the next day there would be a roof over his head or not.maxes day went, as usual, ignore the whispering, talk to Jackson in class and as every day make        it his personal mission to annoy the teacher who treated him like dirt.last class before the day was over. he was ecstatic Ms.Boulter although did not treat him unfairly and genuinely helped him, and as the saying goes time flys when you having fun, or at least it felt like it to him soon the day was over and he found himself walking to Jackson's house. When he got there where more people. see Jackson wasn't rich but his family made enough money for them to live comfortably. So it surprised him when he got there that he recognized two of the kids from the slums and a three he didn't but judging on the way they were dressed they had substantial amounts of money. Which led him to his next question. "What happened to study?"    "Relax mate there's been a small change of plans is all," said Jackson almost smugly( and in a British accent ). "so will you join us?"    "... depends what are we doing?" said max extremely uncomfortable. answering a question with a question.     "well"... replied Jackson secretly "we're gonna take a look inside that government building ya know? the one with all the robot guards."    "Are you insane, those guards are state of the art, and I don't even want to think about the amount of trouble we would be in if we got caught."    "getting cold feet now are we," asked Jackson "but to answer your question... no, we have it all planned out Timmy's father," he said as he pointed at the tall blonde teen behind him. " works there. now Timmy doesn't know what they do there because his father took an oath or something of the like that bars him from telling us but his dad lift his computer on one night and he was able to get us a basic map with layout and notes of where the guard's patrols are." he pulled out computer with the map on it and pointed to the room that said lab. "this room says lab and being all things that go on in that place are top secret we thought the lab would be the most interesting."     " Oh my, Azul you" max said pointing everyone in the room "are all insane."     "come-on max the stuff in there is probably worth a fortune you could probably at the very least get out of the slums" persuaded Jackson "at least do it for your mother... she doesn't deserve the life she has.".    he was right no matter how he didn't want to admit it his mother was a kind woman who deserved far more than her current life. 

and at that moment Maxwell made a choice that would change his life forever "I'm in."
